Audience financed film

Shouldn't come as a surprise to b-genners, still thought it's worth noting it. It's quite a new media story : an independent, semi-broke artist creates animation and publishes on her blog. The art acquires cult following on the net, the artist gets encouraged to make more strips. Animation gets selected into a film festival, needs money to turn animation into 35 mm film, raises money from her current audience through donations on her blog.

a lot can be learned about india from the comments on the rediff article you linked to

two words that are not synonymous, educated, and intelligent

and i don't know if there is any connection, but what is a sharp guy like you doing, using blogger for comments? it is slow to load, usually takes two times through the captcha, and is rather ugly as well. maybe you don't want them.
